Western Union’s Grenada operations have initiated a public notification process in compliance with the Money Services Business Act Cap 198A, specifically Sections 28 and 29 (1)(c)(3). The financial service provider has published an extensive list containing 51 customers who have unclaimed remittance amounts that have remained inactive for over one year, thereby classifying these funds as abandoned property under Grenadian law.
The published registry includes detailed information about each sender, comprising their full names, primary and secondary addresses, and the specific amounts denominated in Eastern Caribbean Dollars. The unclaimed sums range significantly from minor amounts like EC$1.42 to substantial sums exceeding EC$2,500. Notably, several individuals appear multiple times in the listing, indicating multiple unclaimed transactions.
Affected customers have been granted a substantial claims window extending until April 2, 2026, to recover their funds. To initiate the retrieval process, individuals must directly contact Western Union Grenada’s office via telephone at 473-444-2274 or through electronic mail at wugd.unclaimedproperty@wu.com. The financial institution has explicitly stated that any funds remaining unclaimed after the stipulated deadline will be automatically transferred to the appropriate regulatory authority as mandated by the legislation.
This procedure demonstrates Western Union’s adherence to regulatory compliance and financial transparency standards within Grenada’s monetary ecosystem. The publication serves both as a public service announcement and a legal requirement fulfillment, ensuring due process is followed for handling abandoned financial assets.
